VII: Duties of Officers and Terms of Office
Section 1. Duties of officers:
1. President: The president of the local is the chief executive
officer of this union and is charged with administering the affairs
and executing the policies of the union, as determined by the
general membership and the steering committee. S/he shall preside
at all meetings of the general membership and of the steering
committee or delegate that duty. S/he shall report periodically
to the membership regarding the progress and standing of the union
and her/his official acts, shall be an ex-officio member of all
committees, except as disallowed elsewhere in this constitution,
and may co-sign checks.
# Vice-President: The vice-president shall assist the president
in execution of his/her duties and serve as acting president during
the absence or disability of the president. In the event that
a vacancy in the office of president occurs with less than 180
days left in the term, the vice-president shall fill the office
of president until the next regularly scheduled election of officers.
The vice-president shall discharge such other duties as may be
assigned.
2. Treasurer: The treasurer shall keep an accurate account
of all receipts and disbursements of all money of the local union,
maintaining financial records. The treasurer shall deposit all
money received by the local in a bank account selected by the
steering committee. Money so deposited shall be withdrawn only
by countersigned check. (Officers with signatory power shall be
the president, vice-president, and treasurer.) S/he shall provide
members access to financial records; the steering committee shall
adopt reasonable procedures for this process that shall not abridge
this membership right nor unduly burden the treasurer. The treasurer
shall report on financial matters to the president and steering
committee regularly, and shall prepare a detailed financial report
annually for the membership. The treasurer shall prepare all checks
for signature, as authorized by the membership or the steering
committee. The treasurer retains responsibility for any duties
delegated to another member.
3. Secretary: The secretary shall record, compile and maintain
all minutes of meetings of the general membership and steering
committee. The secretary shall promptly transmit copies of the
minutes to the steering committee, and make them available to
all members promptly upon request. The secretary shall carry on
all official correspondence of the union, except as the steering
committee may direct otherwise. The secretary retains responsibility
for any duties delegated to another member.
Section 2. Terms of office: The term of office for officers
after the initial elections is one year.
Section 3. Term limits: There are no term limits.
Article VIII: Committees
Standing committees shall be established, as needed, by the
general membership, or by the steering committee subject to the
approval of the general membership at a regular or special meeting.
The chairs of standing committees shall be ex-officio consultants
of the steering committee. At any time the union is in, or is
about to begin, bargaining with the University, the steering committee
shall establish a bargaining advisory committee.
We
urge you to consider running for one of these offices.
If you like to travel and meet other people we especially urge
you to consider running for Executive Committee Representative.
The face-to-face executive board meetings are inspirational events!
Meet your counterparts from other campuses and help make the decisions
that make our union RUN.
If you believe in CUE's vision of economic and employment justice
for UC clericals, if you have strong feelings about your working
conditions, consider serving a term on the Bargaining Team. Bargainers
use University-approved release time (approved time away from
your university job) to travel to the various bargaining sites
and the union pays for your travel. You get a chance to improve
your life and the lives of your fellow clericals.
The current and outgoing officers stand ready to assist anyone
who takes office as President or Vice-President to handle those
duties in the beginning of their term. Our field representative
can help in many ways, too.
